Sediment samples were collected during one year, at three-month intervals, from four sites in areas of oil extraction (Ilha das Fontes, station 4), transportation (Ilhas de Madre de Deus and Pati, stations 2 and 3) and refinement (RELAM, station 1). Two reference stations (5 and 6) were located outside the petroleum influence area, to the south of the bay. Static bioassays were conducted for 96 h, using 7–8 day old Litopenaeus vannamei postlarvae (PL). The assays were conducted in 2.5 L plastic jars containing 200 g of surface (1 cm deep) bulk sediment covered by 2 L of dilution water (filtered seawater, 28 ppt salinity, 27 + 2ºC and DO under saturation). Fifteen exposed PL in each jar were fed daily on 60 recently hatched Artemia salina nauplii. Physico-chemical parameters were monitored. Mortality and dry weight gain were taken as end-points. The PL mortality data obtained for sediment from the Petrobras stations in comparison to the data from the reference stations were not significantly different (P > 0.05); however, the dry weight gain showed significant differences among stations. A maximum value was reached at station 5 (reference area) and a minimum at station 1 (RELAM refinery).

Se evaluó la toxicidad de sedimentos del área del noreste de la Bahía de Todos os Santos, Bahía, Brasil, para evaluar el impacto ambiental inducido por 50 años de actividad industrial petrolera (Petrobras). Se recolectaron muestras de sedimento durante un año, con intervalos de tres meses, en cuatro sitios relacionados con áreas de extracción (Ilha das Fontes, estación 4), transporte (Ilhas de Madre de Deus y Pati, estaciones 2 y 3) y refinación del petróleo (RELAM, estación 1). Dos estaciones de referencia (5 y 6) se localizaron fuera del área de influencia del petróleo, al sur de la bahía. Se llevaron a cabo bioensayos estáticos por 96 h, usando postlarvas (PL) de Lytopenaeus vannamei con 7 a 8 días de desarrollo. El ensayo fue realizado en contenedores con 200 g de sedimento superficial (1 cm de profundidad) y 2 L de agua (agua de mar filtrada, 28 ppm de salinidad, 27 ± 2ºC y DO bajo saturación). Se alimentaron 15 PL en los contenedores diariamente con 60 nauplios de Artemia salina. Se monitorearon parámetros químicos. La mortalidad y la ganancia en peso seco fueron tomadas como parámetros de validación (end point). Los datos de mortalidad obtenidos de los sedimentos de las estaciones de Petrobras no mostraron diferencias significativas, en comparación con las estaciones de referencia; sin embargo, la ganancia en peso seco mostró diferencias significativas entre estaciones. El valor máximo se alcanzó en la estación 1 (refinería RELAM). Las estaciones 2 y 3 de las áreas de transporte de petróleo no mostraron diferencias significativas. Para evaluar la sensibilidad de la prueba del sedimento para detectar contaminación por la industria petrolera, los datos de toxicidad fueron considerados en términos de niveles de hidrocarburos analizados en dichos sedimentos en las áreas de Petrobras y una de las áreas de control, localizada fuera de la bahía. Los resultados indican que el ensayo de sedimentos con PL de peneidos es una metodología adecuada, no sólo para distinguir entre los medios impactados y relativamente no perturbados, sino también para separar los diferentes grados de impacto entre áreas sujetas a actividades de la industria petrolera en el ambiente costero. |
